Chapter 328 - Skyfire Mountain!

Zhou Yu turned his head and saw a young man in his twenties running over in surprise.

Behind him, there was a group of young men and women.

This group looked like college students on a group tour, but Zhou Yu noticed a few of them had an air of martial prowess about them.

“Who are you?”

Zhou Yu did not recognize this young man.

The young man, however, was very excited.

“You really are Zhou Yu.”

“I thought I had mistaken someone else for you.”

“Brother Yu, hello, I’m Yu Haiyang, I’m also from Yancheng.”

“You may not know me, but I know you, do you remember the auction at Bamboo Pavilion a few months ago?

My grandfather and I also planned to bid on the final item, but to our surprise, you won it in the end.”

“The Nether Fire Lotus Platform?” Zhou Yu was startled.

“Yes, yes, yes, you really know about the Nether Fire Lotus Platform,” Yu Haiyang said excitedly.

“Brother Yu, may I ask if you know how to use the Nether Fire Lotus Platform?”

Zhou Yu could tell that Yu Haiyang’s eyes were clear and he didn’t seem to have any ill intentions, so he didn’t hide anything and nodded.

“That’s right.”

“That’s great.

Brother Yu, if I could find another Nether Fire Lotus Platform, could you use it to treat my grandfather’s injury?

I can pay.”

Just as Zhou Yu was about to speak, the group of young men and women behind Yu Haiyang came over.

One of the men came over, glancing at Zhou Yu, and then his gaze lingered on Qin Lan.

“Wow, what a beautiful girl.”

“Yu Haiyang, you know them?”

Yu Haiyang smiled.

“They’re from my hometown, Brother Kun, you guys go ahead, I’ll chat with my fellow townsman for a bit.”

Brother Kun smiled lightly, his eyes drifting back and forth over Qin Lan.

“Since it’s a fellow townsman, then let’s all go together.

I’ve booked the best restaurant here, and we can eat and talk.”

Zhou Yu frowned, feeling somewhat annoyed.

Although Qin Lan was not his girlfriend, she had come with him, and it wasn’t right for others to look at her so openly.

Yu Haiyang sensed the unusual atmosphere.

He quickly stepped in front of Brother Kun, smiling apologetically.

“Brother Kun, I’ll pass on the meal, you guys go ahead and eat.”

Brother Kun looked at Yu Haiyang with a half-smile.

“What?

Not giving me face?”

At this moment, the group of men and women around Brother Kun also gathered.

“Yu Haiyang, don’t you also want to find the Nether Fire Lotus Platform with Brother Kun?”

“How come?

You dare not give Brother Kun face?”

“Don’t you want the Nether Fire Lotus Platform anymore?”

“No, it’s not like that,” Yu Haiyang quickly waved his hands.

“Then step aside,” Brother Kun commanded coldly.

Yu Haiyang still wanted to stop him, but was pushed aside directly by Brother Kun.

If Zhou Yu had not reacted quickly, Yu Haiyang might have been pushed to the street face first.

Yu Haiyang’s face turned red after being supported by Zhou Yu.

“Brother Kun, you…”

“What about you?

Now scoot,” someone beside Brother Kun scolded.

Then, Zhou Yu spoke up.

“So, you know about the Nether Fire Lotus Platform?”

Brother Kun replied with a faint smile, “Of course.

Why, are you also interested?”

“That’s correct,” Zhou Yu nodded.

“Okay then, let that pretty girl by your side accompany me for a meal, and I’ll naturally take you to the Nether Fire Lotus Platform,” Brother Kun said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lan immediately got a bit angry.

Zhou Yu gently patted Qin Lan and then stepped forward, looking at Brother Kun indifferently.

“That was quite impolite of you.

You need to apologize now.”

“Apologize?” Brother Kun said with a face of mockery.

“Apologize to country bumpkins that came from Yancheng?

Do you think you deserve it?”

Brother Kun raised his hand to slap Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and quickly grabbed Brother Kun’s wrist, then increased the pressure on his grip.

Brother Kun’s face went pale instantly.

“You…”

Seeing that the situation was turning bad.

Yu Haiyang quickly grabbed Zhou Yu’s hand, trying to calm him down.

“Brother Yu, don’t be impulsive.”

After that, he turned to Brother Kun.

“Brother Kun, you guys go ahead and eat, I’ll pay for whatever it costs,” he said.

Brother Kun’s expression turned cold as he shook off Zhou Yu’s hand.

Zhou Yu did not want Yu Haiyang to feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle and so he released Brother Kun.

Brother Kun snorted coldly.

“Hmph, let’s go!”

Brother Kun gave Zhou Yu a cold look and then left with his group.

Yu Haiyang apologized,

“Brother Yu, I’m sorry, they are rich kids from Huzhou, in Haizhou City.

Huzhou has a developed economy with many wealthy people, and they always look down on those from outside Huzhou.”

Zhou Yu replied nonchalantly,

“It’s fine.”

“By the way, do they know about the Nether Fire Lotus Platform?”

Yu Haiyang nodded.

“They do.”

“And so do I.”

“The Nether Fire Lotus Platform is on Mount Heavenly Fire to the west of Thousand Fire Island.”

“But right now, Mount Heavenly Fire has been monopolized by a major power in Haizhou, and outsiders simply can’t get there.”

“Monopolized?

Why?”

“It is said that a precious treasure more valuable than the Nether Fire Lotus Platform has been found there.”

“That major power has deployed a large group of Innate masters to surround Mount Heavenly Fire, and anyone daring to ascend the mountain privately will be killed.”

“Brother Kun and the others are from Huzhou; they know those major powers, so he can take us there.”

A gleam flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

The treasure rarer than the Nether Fire Lotus Platform.

It was very likely the Nine Nether Earth Fire Essence.

He hadn’t expected to get information on it so quickly.

Lucky break.

“Brother Yu, are you planning to go to Mount Heavenly Fire?”

Zhou Yu nodded,

“That’s right, I’m thinking of checking it out.”

“That’s great, you can come with me tomorrow; I’ll take you there.

With Brother Kun and his people there, even if we run into some major powers, it won’t be a problem.”

Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

This Yu Haiyang was quite enthusiastic.

However, that Brother Kun clearly was someone who held a grudge; after affronting him today,

how could he possibly take Zhou Yu with him?

Yu Haiyang was so enthusiastic that Zhou Yu did not have the heart to dampen his spirits.

He merely gave a noncommittal response,

“We’ll see.”
